Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-2586:
-----------------------------------------
It just reuses an older config param, "hdfs.closeTries" - we just need to
update the description I guess.
> HDFS Sink should have an option to try rename even if close fails

> "The issue is that the file close fails, but the stream on the Flume side is
> considered closed by HDFS. So retrying the close, is failing - which causes
> the rename never to be attempted. Since the rename is never attempted the
> file sticks around with the ".tmp" file name. "
> We should try attempting rename even if the close fails and possibly log
> information that the user need to run lease recovery
